In the Hand of Dante is a 2025 American drama-crime film directed by Julian Schnabel, weaving together the medieval world of Dante Alighieri and the gritty criminal underworld of modern New York City. Starring Oscar Isaac, Gerard Butler, Jason Momoa, Gal Gadot, and John Malkovich, this ambitious film spans centuries to explore greed, art, and the enduring power of great literature.

What is In the Hand of Dante about?

When a handwritten copy of Dante's Divine Comedy surfaces in Italy, it sets off a chain of events that pulls the manuscript across an ocean and into the possession of a powerful New York mob boss. A writer named Nick Tosches is brought in to determine whether the manuscript is genuine — a task that draws him deeper into danger than he anticipated. Parallel to this modern thriller, the film reconstructs Dante's own life in fourteenth-century Florence, dramatizing the poet's exile, heartbreak, and the visionary creative act behind history's most celebrated epic poem. The two timelines comment on each other, raising questions about what art costs its creators and what it is worth to those who traffic in it centuries later.

Cast & crew

Director Julian Schnabel is a painter-turned-filmmaker known for unconventional visual storytelling. Oscar Isaac plays Nick Tosches, the world-weary writer at the story's center. Gerard Butler and Jason Momoa bring raw intensity to the New York crime world. John Malkovich and Martin Scorsese appear in supporting roles, while Gal Gadot and Sabrina Impacciatore round out a striking ensemble.

Context & significance

Persian-speaking audiences have long embraced Dante's Divine Comedy through celebrated Farsi translations, and the idea of an ancient manuscript stirring modern chaos speaks to a diaspora community that values both literary heritage and the high-stakes dramas of displacement. The film is available on K-Time with Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles, making it fully accessible whether viewers prefer to absorb the layered dialogue in Farsi or follow along in the original. Crime narratives set against Old World art and culture have consistently resonated with Iranian viewers who grew up with epic Persian poetry of their own — the parallel to the grandeur of Ferdowsi or Hafez is easy to feel, even if the poem at the center here belongs to medieval Italy.
